How to Find Arrest Records

CheckPeople.com provides instant access to online arrest records in an easy-to-read report. Online arrest records will show if the arrest was for a business violation, drug or alcohol related, for a violent crime, from theft or robbery, or was a traffic-related incident. Please keep in mind that an arrest does not constitute guilt. People can be arrested if suspected of a crime, and arrest records are always made after someone is detained by a police officer. But remember that guilt can only be determined by a court of law.

Access Arrest Records Instantly

Our arrest records show in-depth, relevant information on those who have been arrested, and each report details the exact offense, the name of the individual who committed the offense and where the arrest took place.

Offense date

The offense date shows exactly when the arrest occurred, rather than a date of a conviction. The date can help you determine how long ago the incident occurred, which can be used to decide whether or not the person in question is a threat in any manner.

Full name

The arrest records display the entire name of the individual who was arrested. By being able to determine the full name, you can avoid mistaking an arrest of someone else under the same name.

County and state

Each arrest record also details the county and state in which the arrest took place. This piece of information can help shed light on exactly why the person may have been arrested in addition to where they may have resided previously.

THE SUBJECT'S CHARGE OR OFFENSE

THE CATEGORY OF THE CHARGE OR OFFENSE

THE SOURCE OF THE ARREST RECORD

THE STATE THE SOURCE COMES FROM

THE FIRST, MIDDLE, AND LAST NAMES OF THE SUBJECT

THE DATES OF THE CHARGES OR OFFENSES

THE LOCATION WHERE THE CRIME OCCURRED

THE TYPE OF CASE AND THE CASE NUMBER

THE NAME OF THE COURT INVOLVED

Can anyone view online arrest records?

Signed into law in 1967, the Freedom of Information Act gives all Americans access to public records, with some exceptions. People can view all arrest records, except those that are still active or are pending.

Some states will also exclude arrest information when the subject is acquitted, expunged, or released because of lack of charges.

Is it free to view online arrest records?

Arrest records often include sensitive information, so fees may be involved with viewing them.
